Endings by Brian Keene
I got this in the mail today and was sooo freaking excited that I had to start reading it immediately. I read the little blurb by Brian about how these stories all have unhappy endings and smiled. I started in on the first short story and about half way through it actually hit me. These stories all have unhappy endings. I am embarking on a journey where nothing is going to come up roses. I thought about the characters in this first story that I actually already felt for. (strange occurrence for me in a short story) I have to admit it made me a little worried. But so far the first story was excellent. The second one hit home for me. Brian said something to that affect in the blurb. He was right.
I cannot wait to continue the book. But if I get all sad and depressed you guys will cheer me up right? LOL
I can see it now....a whole message board depressed this month because of Brian Keene. No one will want to post, we'll all stop reading horror novels, and horrordude will be shut in doing nothing but eating pizza and staring at pictures of Eva on the internet.
Hellolost, since you are the first to read, you should be the first to recover. We'll be needing you to cheer us up!
I can't wait for this one, I still have the Castaway's buzz going.
What are the odds that in a one week period I would read two stories that concern the rapture. That great fear of being left behind. But it happened. First William Ollie and now Brian Keene.
Brian said something at the end of the story that totally fit how I felt and feel. I am afraid of God therefore I believe. I'm afraid not to.
Thanks alot William and Brian for scaring the shit out of me
Well I totally enjoyed the book while at the same time it kind of irritated me. The stories were well written. However, I feel sorry for anyone who hadn't read Keene before picking up this book. Am I allowed to say I am a little tired of Ob? Well I am. Ahem... sorry about that. Anywhoooo.... The book was a quick and fun read. The last few stories didn't do it for me but the rest were enjoyable. I would read this book again and for me that is a compliment!!
Zombie Rock huh.... Might be something that I would die to go see. *snort.
Well not totally tired of Ob... just kind of ready to learn about others instead of Ob.. I don't know. Sheesh. It just feels like I was kind of bashed over the head with him. That might be my own fault since I just found Brian at Dead Sea and then had to run out and read all that I could find. Over saturation I guess.

I'm enjoying these stories just as much as Keene's novels. So far I haven't read one story I didn't love. Something would have to go very wrong for me to come away from this batch of stories and not name it as one of my favorite collections.
Take The Long Way Home was a great story. There's something about end of the world type stories that Keene writes, he gets the hooks in you early on and you have to read straight through to the end with no breaks.

I'm still reading, but so far the stand outs are Jacks Magic Beans and Take The Long Way Home. Two fantastic stories in a book filled with great stories.
